It also provided them with the qualifications enabling them to achieve success, distinction and achievement. My pride lies in the fact that I had the honor of representing my country by receiving these awards. I don't consider this a personal achievement, as I realize that I did not realize it alone.

"I myself", says Al Janahi, "have established my roots through working in the field of organizational excellence under the umbrella of this program that came as a result of the vision of an exceptional leader in his intellect and ambition. It was also implemented by a distinguished team. Moreover, His Highness' leading initiatives such as the Electronic Government, the Intelligent Government, Happiness Fulfillment Strategies, Creativity and Innovation put the Emirati government officials ahead of their peers and made them always open to leading visions and policies, and also a part of a developed work system that can shape the future, for others to copy its model".
